 The
pleasant bay of Kata, just a few minutes south of Karon Beach, entices many
with its white sands and clear waters.
The monsoon season of May-October can make for rough swimming conditions,
but it's this time of year that the surfers come out. The south end of the
beach is the best place to watch, or join in on, the surfing action. Rentals
are available for those who leave their boards at home.
Late in the year as the waters turn calm, Kata bay becomes populated with
beautiful yachts, which arrive from all over the region to compete in
December's King's Cup Regatta, Asia's premier sailing event.
While Club Med takes up most of the beachfront, a shaded footpath along
the road fronting the resort makes for a pleasant stroll. Continuing on
through the village, walkers will find an abundance of shops to browse in,
from souvenir and ready-to-wear outlets, to 7-11 and local mini-marts, to
name brand fashion stores. There are also plenty of dive shops and tour
operators to assist those looking to explore beyond the beach.
Steak and seafood seem to be the most common offerings of Kata's many
restaurants. Most roadside restaurants display their selection of lobsters,
tiger prawns and plump fish right in front of their shop for all to see -
and for diners to handpick. There's no shortage of Thai restaurants, and for
international fare there's Scandinavian, Tex-Mex, Indian and Italian places
to choose from, just to name a few.
Among the hotels and bungalows
available in Kata, Mom Tri's Boathouse boutique resort offers the most
elegant option, not to mention an award-winning wine cellar at its
restaurant.
